Ex-TCU running back Wesley thrilled to get a shot with Cowboys

Ed Wesley once lived in the apartment complex across the street from the Cowboys practice facility.

Now he’s made his way to the practice field.

The club added the former TCU running back to their roster Thursday. He takes the place of Darrell Scott, who was waived after he failed his physical due to a hip flexor.

“A few teams showed interest in me, but it really doesn’t even matter any more,” said Wesley, who was passed over in the supplemental draft earlier this month. “I’m here and I plan to be here. I plan to stay here, plan to stay where I’ve been my whole life.

“It’s awesome.”

Briefly: Cornerback Mike Jenkins still has a limited range of motion as he rehabilitates from off-season shoulder surgery. How limited? As Jenkins played catch off to the side Thursday he was throwing the ball underhand.
